Just a few things I want to get off my chest; I apologise if this comes off as somehow whiny...
I'm home from uni for the weekend, as I don't have any lectures this week, and I'm already dreading going back...
I've liked the introductory lectures I've been to, and I'm looking forward to the seminars, but I just feel like everything else kind of sucks... I asked to have my accommodation in a quiet area, but they've put me in a room where my bed is against the wall of the kitchen, so my room is really noisy. This is irritating, as I like to go to bed early, but the residences team can't do anything about the noise if it's before eleven PM. The busyness of the kitchen means I kind of hate going in there, because I just can't deal with being in a small room with eight or ten people all laughing and talking really loudly, especially as I come from a quiet home.
I also have a window looking out onto the courtyard, meaning I can hear all the noise from the rest of the halls, including occasional drunken yelling when people have come back late at night from the freshers' week parties. This also means that I can't open my window to cool my room down, because the I can't sleep because of the noise.
Speaking of the kitchen, it always looks dirty, and people keep leaving washing up and empty beer and vodka bottles around everywhere. Also, the window in my room has mould growing around it, and they still haven't done anything about the broken curtain or drawer, even though I made them aware of these things on Sunday, when I moved in.
As a result of all these things, basically all the time that I haven't been spending at the introductory talks or food shopping has been spent shut in my room painting and watching DVDs.
I could deal with the room being naff if it weren't for all the noise, and if I could talk to my flatmates individually rather than all at once in the noisy kitchen. And if some of them were a bit quieter, rather than talking about how drunk they got the previous night, and what parties they're going to later.
Oh, and I was hoping the history society would be a more sedate affair, but their first meeting is a pub crawl, which I'm not going to enjoy at all because I hate rowdy environments and I don't drink much. I actually might not go, because that sounds like the complete opposite of my idea of a good time.
:/
Basically, I like all the academic stuff but hate all the trappings of ~student life~ or what have you.
Anyway, how are you?
